that almost describes gnome people.... |

|
| 12 |
but what was there before KDE started? xterm... Netscape Navigator.... |
| 13 |
and not much else. |

Ok, they could have done what gnome did. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Take some gtk app, add a dependency on gconf and gnome-vfs and call it a |
| 18 |
'gnome app'. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
There is a reason why Koffice is an office, while 'gnome office' is a |
| 21 |
bunch of apps that don't know each other. |

But back to NIH. |

KDE developed dcop - and dcop was awesome. You could script your entire |
| 26 |
KDE desktop with a bunch of simple dcop commands. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
But that was not good enough for gnome. They, and the freedesktop.org |
| 29 |
they infested were adamant: there must be a new desktop bus - it would |
| 30 |
be called dbus and waiting for gnome and the demands of gnome-devs held |
| 31 |
back KDE development.... |
